Oklahoma Chapter Parents for Better Family Solutions

This is a site for victims of the Grandparent Visitation Laws in Oklahoma. These laws need to be changed as they violate the rights of fit parents to raise their children and the right of the children to be raised by their fit parents. Please feel free to email me directly at OKLadyBug@aol.com about the problems that you are having with these statutes in OK. If you are not from OK, I may be able to send you to the right area to obtain information for your state as I am a member of the national organization.

Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.

Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement, engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share their private experiences with the group.

We may be survivors of child abuse or neglect, who have survived only to see our children be court ordered to visit with our abusers. We may be grandparents, outraged by court ordered intrusion into our children's lives. We may be single persons, parents or grandparents. Our common bond is that we have witnessed what the Grandparent's Right's movement and Grandparent Visitation legislation has done to those we care deeply for. We are committed to changing these laws for the sake of our children. And, our children's children.

A safe, permanent home isn't something a child should only dream about. Almost half a million children in the United States live in foster care, meant to be a temporary haven. They have been removed from their homes, not because they did anything wrong, but because they've been abused or neglected.
One judge had an idea to help these children find a way into safe, permanent homes more quickly. His idea was CASA.
